Why are torquing lug nuts bad?
Over or Under Torquing Under torquing your tires is a simple explanation for loose lug nuts. If they are improperly tightened, then your tire security will be at a minimum. Over torquing can also lead to other problems such as cracked, seized, or cross threaded nuts that cannot apply the same clamping force.
What causes stripped lug nuts?
When torqued beyond the manufacturer’s specification, the cap separates from the lug nut and allows moisture to get in. This then causes the nut to rust and stick to the hub assembly. If you ever find yourself stuck with a stripped lug nut that won’t come off, you’ll need to have an extra set of tools nearby.
What do loose lug nuts feel like?
If the lug nuts or bolts are loose, the wheel will not be held snugly against the hub of the vehicle. When the vehicle is driven, the wheels will shake. The shaking will be felt in the steering, and likely throughout the whole car.
Can lug nuts get loose on their own?
Generally the lug nuts are tightened using a pneumatic wrench which would tighten them to the max and then slip. This is an indication for the lug nuts fully tightened. Generally they do not loosen on their own, unless if left partially tightened after changing a flat tire on your own. Use your discretion.
Can wheel nuts fall off?
